King's Kids

I had a fun photo shoot recently for King's Kids, the Sunday school at my local church.

It was great seeing the kids have so much fun and my first opportunity to try out in earnest my wireless Pocket Wizards. Using them I was able to bounce my flash from near the middle of the room off the domed ceiling and get a good spread of light regardless of my position.

They're not cheap but they work so well and reliably.

Check out some of the results on www.kingschurch.com.

Keynote, Flash and IE incompatibility

My previous post about my ingenious idea of posting Keynote created Flash files was sadly flawed. The HTML snippet just wouldn't work with IE. Firefox and Safari work fine but Internet Explorer emits an unpleasant stream of clicks and no image.

Shame on me for assuming if it works on my mac and Firefox everything would be fine. I should know better!

The simple resolution is to use an iframe tag instead of object.

I've updated the previous post to provide a complete set of instructions.
